New tune.....new truck!!!

Down N Dirty · #1 Sun, August 9th, 2009, 08:34 AM

Well, after being caught up in the PHP e-mail debacle of 2009, one that I'm sure will go down in automotive history, I finally received my custom tune.

You see, after being very patient,

and waiting about 3 months I finally contacted Corey to check up on my tune. Low and behold it was on the server and ready for me to down load.

The real kicker is that it had been there sense MAY!!!!!

Apparently Corey's e-mail had never made it to me.

The moral to the story is to be patient, be polite, and check in every so often to see how your tunes are going.

The reality is I actually received very fast service, as my tune was ready in 2 weeks,

the other reality is that electronic communication is far from perfect.

Anyway, it was like having a new truck when I originally installed my Gryphon and set it to level 2, now I have re-lived the experience of having a new truck again after installing my new custom 87 octane tune. Bill, either you're that good, or Ford is that bad.

Sorry Bill, I couldn't resist. Bill obviously knows what he's doing, and does it very well. I have much better performance, and a sold 1.5 MPG increase. Thank you Bill and Corey for all the hard work and effort you put into PHP, and allowing me to be a part of the Power Hungry Performance team.

Glad you got everything and enjoying the truck...

Im usually not a fan of a cap on a truck.....but your truck looks very nice.

Thanks JWB. I use my truck to transport dogs, so the cap works really well for that. There are times I wish it wasn't on there, but all in all it works out well. That's why I leveled the truck by lowering the rear, it makes dealing with the dogs easier.

Not a problem Lars. I have a business much like Bill and Corey's and understand what they go through on a daily basis. We live in a fast paced world where so many people expect quick answers, and "instant gratification". I think the internet has both helped and hurt what we all expect out of other people. My advise to those who have a hard time with patience is to detail your truck, and spend some time reading the ford workshop manuals for your particular vehicle. You'll look sharper, be smarter, and before you know it you'll be rumbling down the street in a custom tuned, good looking truck, with a smile on your face.

Thank god these things have windshields or we would all be picking bugs out of our teeth.

PS, both you and Jack do a fantastic job of fielding questions and providing answers to the masses. The people on this list are lucky to have both of you here.

Down N Dirty,

Good looking truck. Like you, I'm partial to the Mark-LT wheels. I've got a set sitting in the garage that I got for dirt cheap and plan to have them powder-coated black.

Question: What size tires did you end up installing and how do you like them? You picture looks like they are about 275's ?

Any issues with the drop shackles? Love my truck, but they are very tall at the rear. I can see why the fold-out step is an option on the 2009's.

Thanks.
